My New Web Site

The site will be home-base for my genealogy activities, including my speaking engagements (more to come, I hope!), a genealogy toolbox (my most-used online resources), links to my blogs and copies of my free eBooks (more of those to come as well!).

My site is in its infancy as I continue to tweak things. The site is hosted on Weebly.com, which I learned about in Thomas MacEntee's webinar a couple evenings ago. I've created many web sites over the years and this is, by far, the easiest to do! Everything is drag and drop and you don't need to know any coding! I highly recommend the site if you want a web presence for your genealogy hobby.

I'm off to Omaha this morning for the Greater Omaha Genealogical Society spring conference. I'll try to tweet or post some messages on Facebook throughout the day.

Hi Susan! Your website looks great! The only suggestion I would make is that you go back and make all of your links "open in a new tab" instead of allowing them to navigate away from your site. I know that once I start looking at a website, one thing leads to another and I have to click "back" a gajillion times to get back to where I started. All in all, very nicely done!

I love your new website! I have been using my blog sort of as a website, but probably need to have a separate website, so I'll have to take a look at Weebly. Seeing your Genealogy Toolbox inspires me to set up a separate page for one on my blog, which can be migrated to a website later.
